Debian Security Advisories

DSA-3526 libmatroska – security update

It was discovered that libmatroska, an extensible open standard
audio/video container format, incorrectly processed EBML lacing. By
providing maliciously crafted input, an attacker could use this flaw
to force some leakage of information located in the process heap
memory.

DSA-3525 pixman – security update

Vincent LE GARREC discovered an integer overflow in pixman, a
pixel-manipulation library for X and cairo. A remote attacker can
exploit this flaw to cause an application using the pixman library to
crash, or potentially, to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the user running the application.

DSA-3522 squid3 – security update

Alex Rousskov from The Measurement Factory discovered that Squid3, a
fully featured web proxy cache, does not properly handle errors for
certain malformed HTTP responses. A remote HTTP server can exploit this
flaw to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit).
